Psalms 111
Praise to God for his faithfulness and Justice

vs 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

Father Lord, help us to fear you so that we may gain wisdom. Help us to understand You more each day so that we may do your commandments. Help us Lord. 

Psalms 112
The blessed state of the Righteous

1Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
2His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs with discretion.

Father Lord, help us to fear You, to know You and Your commandments, to follow all your commandments. Because Lord we know that You bless those who obey you and You are happy with them. Help us to be that light in the darkness. That even as we live our lives, help us to be Your light. To be a good testimony to Your name and who You are. Help us to be gracious, full of compassion and righteous. We are not there yet but we long to be someone who will be worthy of who You are as God. We long to be more like Jesus. It's not easy but as we become more like You, we will be more gracious in our dealings with people. Come and teach us afresh how to be more like You Lord.
